To empower women, your Delhi government has taken a step forward and has now given you a gift of Rs 12,000 annually.
New Delhi: In the budget 2024-25 presented in the Assembly on Monday, the Kejriwal government made a historic announcement for women empowerment. The government will now give one thousand rupees every month to every woman above 18 years of age. For this, Finance Minister Atishi announced the launch of Chief Minister Mahila Samman Yojana.
Congratulating CM Arvind Kejriwal, he said that the world's largest women empowerment program has been announced in today's budget. To empower women, your Delhi government has taken a step forward and has now given you a gift of Rs 12,000 annually. Now all our daughters, mothers and sisters above 18 years of age will be given Rs 1000 per month under this scheme.
Arvind Kejriwal said that about 50 lakh women in Delhi will benefit from this. This dream of ours for years was fulfilled this year. When money comes into the hands of a common man, it goes to the market. This creates demand in the market and leads to progress of the country. The budget of Delhi government is inspired by the concept of Ramraj. In this, all sections and all sectors have been taken care of.
The people of Delhi have given me such a high position, I can never repay this favor.
CM Arvind Kejriwal held a press conference on the budget presented in the Delhi Assembly. During this, Finance Minister Atishi was also present. On the announcement in the budget of giving one thousand rupees per month to women under the Chief Minister Mahila Samman Yojana, CM Arvind Kejriwal said that today's budget is a very emotional moment for me personally. We are very common and simple people. We do not come from any political families. Neither of my parents, grandparents nor any distant relative were in politics. We never thought in life that we would enter politics. It was a great favor to the people of Delhi that they gave us such a big position and gave us such a big responsibility. I always say that I cannot fulfill this favor of the people of Delhi even in seven births.
Tried to take care by becoming elder son and elder brother- Arvind Kejriwal
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that ever since the Aam Aadmi Party government was formed in Delhi, we have never looked at it from the point of view of politics and government work. Like I have my own family. My parents, children and wife live with me. Just like I take care of my family, I have tried to take care of every family living in Delhi by becoming a part of them, whether by becoming their brother or son. I have considered all the children of Delhi as my own children and have tried to give them the best education. It has been my endeavor that just as my children got good education, every child of Delhi should get the same good education. My endeavor is that if anyone in the family in Delhi falls ill, he should not get poor treatment due to lack of money, rather he should get the best treatment possible. I have tried to take care of every family by becoming their elder son or elder brother.
In Delhi, we have made arrangements to keep one thousand rupees in the hands of every woman - Arvind Kejriwal
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that today a big announcement has been made for my mothers and sisters of Delhi. Every woman above 18 years of age living in Delhi will be given Rs 1000 every month under the "Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana". This is no small thing. I think this will be the world's biggest program in the field of women empowerment. It is very easy to talk about women empowerment, but how will empowerment happen? The greatest women empowerment happens when women have money in their hands. When there is money in the pocket, a man feels powerful. If we put money in women's pockets, only then will they feel empowered.
Arvind Kejriwal said that in our society, especially those women who do not earn live in adverse conditions. Those women have to lend money to their husbands, sons and relatives for small things. This will not happen in Delhi now. Now, for every woman above 18 years of age in Delhi, whether she is our younger sister, elder sister or any mother, we have made an arrangement of one thousand rupees every month for every woman. Now every month one thousand rupees will go into the bank accounts of these women. This is a big thing.
Electricity, water, education, treatment, pilgrimage for the elderly, free bus travel for women.
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that we have been working for many years to give an honorarium of Rs 1,000 per month to women. Obviously this will cost a lot of money. But since there is now a very honest government in Delhi, which saves every single penny. First we made electricity free, water free, education free, treatment free, pilgrimage for the elderly free and women traveling in buses free. Our government saves money and delivers it to the public. Why couldn't this happen earlier? Why did governments of other parties not do it? Because the people of the other party eat all the public money, all the money goes into the pockets of the leaders and they eat it. But this does not happen in Delhi.
Arvind Kejriwal said that in Delhi we have saved every penny and spent it on the public. We were thinking for many years that we will give one thousand rupees to every woman, this dream was fulfilled this year. I want to congratulate all the women of Delhi very much. You have done me a great favor and a great blessing. I don't need anything else from you, just keep this blessing on my brother and son.
Our mothers and sisters will be able to take advantage of this scheme by giving self-declaration form – Arvind Kejriwal
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that women who are above 18 years of age will be eligible for this scheme, but beneficiaries of any government pension, women doing government jobs and paying income tax will not be eligible for the scheme. To simplify this system, we have made it mandatory for women to give a self-declaration form. Some will be checked randomly, but women will be able to avail the benefits of the scheme by giving self-declaration form. Its process will start after the Lok Sabha elections. Will bring it to the cabinet.
If all the money of the country goes into the hands of a few people then the economy gets ruined.
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that with the implementation of this scheme, there will be a huge boom in the economy of Delhi. It has always been seen that if property or money goes into the hands of a few people then the economy gets ruined. In the last 75 years, we have seen that all the parties that came to power had trickle down economics theory. In their governments, it used to be said that give all the money of the country to two-four families, they will then set up a factory, do all the labor in the factory and that will lead to the progress of the country. But that never leads to progress in the country, it never happens in the whole world.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that but this is the bottom of the theory, the more money comes into the hands of a poor person, the more the country will progress and the more the economy will progress. When a poor man gets money, that money goes to the market. Poor people have to buy things of daily consumption including clothes and soap. This creates demand in the economy. When demand arises, new factories are set up and new shops open.
This budget of Delhi government is inspired by the concept of Ramraj - Arvind Kejriwal
CM Arvind Kejriwal said that when our government was formed in Delhi, we had increased the minimum salary a lot. When we made electricity and water free, it brought money into the hands of the common people. Today, the result is that Delhi has the lowest inflation and highest prosperity in the entire country. Therefore, when money comes into the hands of women, that money will go to the market. Women will buy things of their choice and this will also lead to growth of the economy.
He said that today's budget is inspired by the concept of Ramraj. We are providing good hospitals, building good schools, building roads. Doing all the things. The roads in the villages of Delhi were somewhat neglected. This time we have made a separate budget provision for it. Attention will be given to village and rural roads of Delhi. The construction of village roads will be done with full enthusiasm. It was a very good budget. All sections and all sectors were taken care of in the budget. All sectors have been taken care of.
What did Delhi get by making all seven BJP MPs?
On the question of women who will benefit from the "Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana", CM Arvind Kejriwal said that our estimate is that around 45 to 50 lakh women will benefit from the scheme. If there is any obstacle in implementing the scheme, we will fight it and get the scheme implemented. Till now we have got so much work done by fighting, so we will get this work done too. The people of Delhi once gave us 62 out of 70 seats and once gave us 67 out of 70 seats, only then our government could run in Delhi. If they had given 40 seats out of 70, these people would have brought down our government. Like these people are toppling governments everywhere. For this I am thankful to the people of Delhi.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the people of Delhi are seeing how the people of BJP, LG and the Central Government are hindering every work. Right now I am fighting alone against LG, BJP and Central Government. What did the people of Delhi get by making seven MPs of BJP in Delhi? The people of Delhi did not get anything. Whenever these people stop work in Delhi, all seven BJP MPs clap. I appeal to the people of Delhi that if all the seven MPs donate to the India alliance, I will have seven hands. I will get strength. Including Delhi and Punjab, we will have 25 to 30 MPs. Then no one has the courage to stop the work in Delhi. I am asking for this strength from the people of Delhi that when you go to vote, think about Delhi to strengthen Kejriwal. If you give me strength then no one will have the courage to do your work.
CM Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, "Many congratulations to all my mothers, sisters and daughters of Delhi. To empower women, your Delhi government has taken a step forward and has now given a gift of Rs 12,000 to women annually. All our sisters, daughters, mothers and sisters above 18 years of age will now be given Rs 1000 per month under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana.News is originally taken from: https://bit.ly/3T0JL6f
